Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 17, 1918.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Jesse G. VINCENT, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Detroit, Vlayne county, State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon-Motors, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to hydrocarbon motors and particularly to oiling systems therefor. The salient. object of the invention is to produce an oiling system. that will provide ample lubrication to substantially all of the moving or wearing parts of a hydrocarbon motor; Thisand the other objectsnnd the udvantagesthut flowbfro'm the invention, will be seen fromthe following description taken with the drawings which form a. part of this application, and in which:

Fig. 13 is u 13 in ofE-ilg Referring to he: on the line drawings, the motorloasc and the lower half 21 forms an oil well which collects and holds the oil used in the lubrication system.

As shown, the upper half of the crank case is formed wlth a front partition. or wall 24, a rear partition or wall 25, and an. intermediate partition or wall 26. Each of these partitions or walls is formed with e. bearing receiving part or support 27 in which the three bearings 28, 29 and 30 are held as by caps 31, 32 and 33, respectively. One of these caps, which may be the cap 32-, is shown in enlarged perspective in Fig. 6, with the lower half of the bearing 9.9 therein. These bearings 28, 29 and 30 are the BEST AVAILABLE COPY main bearings of the crank case, and the crank shaft- 23 is su ported in them. They are of course held i rigid alinement.

The crank shaft 23 comprises main hearing parts 34, 35 and 36, which are mounted to rotate in the bearings above described, and there are several bearing parts between each of the end bearings and the intermediate bearing 29. As shown, there are three bearing parts in the form of crank pins 37, 38 and 39, between the front bearing part 34: and the intermediate bearing part- 35 of the crank shaft, and these crank pins are connected by cheeks 40, 41, 4:2 and 43, with each other and with the front bearing part and intermediate bearing part of the crank shaft. The rear half oi the crank shaft is substantially symmetrical with the front half, there being three crank pins l4. and 46, and four cheeks 47, 48, 4:9 and 50.

It will be understood that more or less cylinders, may be used with a crank shaft ofjzhe above described construction, but as shown, there are six cylinders in-euch of the two blocks, thus providing two connecting rodsfor attachment to-cach of the crank supp -rted 'by the caps.

scribed. The bearings 54 of the connecting rods are mounted side by side on the crank pins as shown particularly 1n Fig. 1

Means are provided for feeding 011 under pressure t6 the three main bearings of thecrank case. As shown, this means comprises a pump 56 which delivers oil (the pump and connections will be more particularly described hereinafter) to an oil manifold 58 which. extends lengthwise of the crank case beneath the main bearings. There are three branches 59 from this manifold 58.;which are connected to the caps 31, 32 and 33, respectively, whereby the entire manifold is Each of the caps is formed with a passage 60, and a branched passage 61 is formed between the cap and thelower half of the hearing which it supports, this passage 61 being preferably cut in the bearing metal, so that theoil is led to two separated points 62 in each bearing.

By referring to Figs. 3 and 6, it will be seen also that channels 63 are cut circumthrough the -branches'59, the passages 60 and 61- and the channels 63, where the oil Will of course spread on the bearing surface, some of it leaking through and returning to the oil well below. I

Means are also provided for conveyingoil to the various crank pins of the. crank shaft, and as shown, this means is in the form of independent conduits leadin to each of the crank pin bearing parts. 11 other words, means have been described above for feeding oil under pressure to amain hearing part of the crank shaft, and this invention contemplates means for leading oil from said main bearing part of the crank shaft independently to two other bearing parts thereof. Thus, oil is led from one of the channels 63 of one of the end main bearings to the adjacent crank pin bearing part, and independent means are provided for leading oil from the other channel 63 of said main bearing to the crank pin bearing part beyond said adjacent crank pin bearing part;

In the form shown, the end main bearings supply oil to the four crank pins closest to them, and the intermediate main-bearing,

of it. I 1

For the purpose of making the drawing supplies oil t the crank pins on each side clearer, the various channels formed in the crank shafthave their useful parts only in- 'dicatcd, but the method of forming these channels by drilling and plugging is illustrated, for instance, in Figs. 5, 7 and S. It would be confusing to show all of the threaded parts and plugs in Figs. 1 and 2, for instance. I

The front end bearing part 34: of the crank shaft has two longitudinal channels 64 and- 65, the former having a radial branch. 66 and the latter a similar radial branch 67. As will be seen particularly in Fig. l, the branch 66 registers with the front channel 63 in the main bearing 28, and the branch 67 registers with the rear channel 63 of said bearing. As shown in Figs. 1 and 4, the passage 64 communicates with a passage 68 in the check 40, and the latter passage communicates with a longitudinal passage 69 in the crank pin 37, and from the passage 69 there. are two separate-d branches '70 leading to the surface of the crank pin. will be seen that there is a direct oilpassage from the forward channel 63 of the front end main bearing 28, t two points on the surface of the crank pin bearing part 37 of the 'crank shaft. It will also be seen that the branches 70 are in parallel, and as the connecting rods 51 on each crank pin are always at an angle to each other, as shown particularly in Fig. 2, these branches 7 0 will communicate with the pipes 53 of said con necting rods at different times, whereby the oil will be more readily"'c0nveyed through said pipes 53 to the piston pins 55. Also .the outlet branches 70 are each smaller than the inlet branch 66 whereby pressure is better maintained in the conduit. This is true of all of the other crank pins, as will hereinafter more fully appear. v

Again referring-to Figs. 1 and 4, it will be seen that there is a passage 71 in the check 40, which communicates with the passage 65 as well as with a passage 72, which extends through the crank pin 37 in parallel, but not in communication, with the passage 69 therein. Said passage 72 leads to a passage 73 in the cheek ll, which communicates with a longitudinal passage 74, through the crank pin 38. A pair of parallel branches 7 5 similar to the branches 70 lead oil from the passage 74. to the surface of the crank pin 38 and to. the pipes 53 of the connecting rods which are connected to that crank pin. Thus, there is an independent oil lead from the rear channel 63 of the front end main hearing 28 of tin.- crank case to tw points on the stirfacebf the crank pin 38. Moreover, it wi1l be seen, upon reference to said Figs. 1 and 4, that the branches 66 and 67 are arranged atsubstantially 120 degrees apart, and since the channels 63 extend about the same number f degrees around the hearing, it will be evident that the branches 66 and Thus it incense 6?

Shown as arranged at the rear end of the crank shaft over the main bearing 30, is a: cross shaft 113, supported in bearings 114 and 115, the latter being removable and sufficiently large to permit the passage of the a gear 116 as the shaft, the bearing, and the gear are withdrawn from the crank case as a unit. .The gear 116 is keyed to the shaft 113, and is driven by a similar spiral gear 117 on the cam shaft 95'. The bearing piece 115, which may be removably secured to the .crank case, has mounted upon it a small air pump 118,,as shown particularly in Fig. 3.

This pump is preferably used to supply air pressure to the gasolene system which'supplies the motor with fuela-and it comprisesa cylinder 119, a piston 120, piston pin 121,

connecting rod 122, and eccentric or crank 123, mounted on the end of the-shaft 113. The shaft 113 is shown as of tubularform, and it is supplied with oil under pressure by a passage 124, leading from a channel 125, formed in the outer circumference of the main bearing 30, which passage connects with the passage'60 infthe cap 33. Branches 126 convey the oil from the passage 124'to the interior of the shaft 113, and to the bearing 114, and branches 127 pass the oil to the bearing 115. Other passages 128, 129, and 130, carry the oil to the connecting rod bearings of thepump 118 and to the piston pin 121. Thus it will be seen that the shaft 113 and all of the moving parts of the pump 118 are lubricated directly from the'main bearing 30 of the crank shaft.

Mounted in the bottom of the crank case is an oil pump designated generally as 56 and it is provided with a driving shaft in three sections, 132, 133 and 134. The section 132 is rigidly connected to one of the gears of the pump, the section 134 is mounted in separated bearings 135 and 136 in the upper part of the crank case, and the part .or section 133 has a loose squared connection with the other two sections, which permits the various sections to be readily detached axially. from the shaft 113 through a pair of spiral gears 137.

The pump 56 hereinabove referred to is illustrated in detail in Figs. 9, 10 and 11. The casing of the pump is in two parts 138 and 139 connected by bolts 131, and it is in the l--l'm of a cover which closes a bottom opening 140 in the crank case lower half.

' The pump proper is of the ordinary spur gear type, the gears being shown at 141 and 142, the driving shaft section 132 being formed as a part of the former gear. The inlet passage 143 of the pump is shown particularly in Fig. 9 and the. outlet passage 144 is shown in dotted lines as circling around the side of the casing and terminat- The pump shaft is driven ing at 145. From a point 146 in this outlet passage 144, a branch pipe 147 of inverted U form leads to a bypass 148 which terminates at 149 in the inlet passage 143, as shown particularly in Fig. 9. In one of the vertical arms of the passage 147 is mounted an adjustable relief valve .150, which isheld toits seat by a spring 151 in a removable tubular support 152. A belt 153 forins an abutment for the lower end of the spring 151, and is'threaded in the support 152.

removable cap 154 covers the outer end of the bolt 153, and a jam nut'155 forms a. lock for the bolt. It will, be understood that the tension of the spring 151 may be altered by removing the cap 154, loosening the am nut 155, and turning the bolt 153. The en tire valve and its adjusting mechanism may be removed by witlulrawing the threaded .support 152. By providing the bypass 148 which returns all excess oil directly to the intake passage 143, unnecessary stirring up of the oil in the bottom of the crank case is obviated.

As shown particularly in Fig. 3, oil from the outlet 145 of the pump passes through a port 156 into a cylindrical part 157 formed in the crank case lower half. This cylindrical part is formed with an open end'158 which is provided with a removable cover 159, to which a cylindrical screen 160 is secured. At the inner end of the part 157, there is an opening 161 through which passes a connecting piece 162-, which threads into a pipe coupling 163, and secures the latter rigidly to the inner end of the cylindrical part 157. The pipe coupling 163 is connected to the oil manifold 58 hereinabove referred to. -The inner end of the connecting piece 162 is beveled as at 164, to prmide a seat for the inner open end of the cylindrical strainer 160. It is also-of angular form interiorly to receive the angular end of a spider 165 which extends from the cap 159 into the connecting piece 162 to lock the latter in place. i

The entire lower portion of the crank case is in the form of an elongated reservoir 166, with a series of bafile plates 167 extending across it to prevent surging of the oil. The upper part of the reservoir is surrounded by a' flange 168, to which a screen-169 is secured as by a series of screws 170. This screen or strainer extends over the entire reservoir, so that all of the oil which falls 7 from the various rotating parts in the crank case above it must pass through thisjscreen to reach the reservoir and the pump, the latter being mounted preferably'in the lowest part of the reservoir. Small openings 171 are provided in each of the bafiies 167, to permit the oil to flow to the lowest part of the reservoir. Thus it will be seen that oil is strained by the strainer 169 before it reaches the pump, and it isthen passed 175, and the outlet through the strainer 160 under pressure on way to the manifold 58.

wile-cling ribs 172 may cast onthe outle of the bottom of the crank case to reicethe temperature of the oil, and a pet in conjunction with the settling-basin shown in said Figs. 12 and 13, if desi'red.

This settling basin is for the purpose of sepamting the Water om the oil, water 211- Ways being present to? a greater or lesser extent in the oil used ifi h drocarbon motors.

A conventional form 0 pump is shown at through a pipel'itl" with a, 'chamber' l'i'? formed in the forwizlrdi-partof the crank case. This chamber 177 1s ofitightly closed.

construction, and. is provided 'With a series of cross partitions 178, fonniiigsevcral compartments which communicate with each other across the tops of the partitions which do not quite reach to the top of the chamber. The oil is fed to the chamber as at 17 9 into one end compartment, and passes over the tops of the various partitions 178, until it reaches the compartment at the other end oft-he chamber, where it is led away by a pipe 180.

openings lslbeing' provided at the bottoms of each of the partitions to permit draining all of them by removing the plug 182 in the bottom of the lowest compartment. The chamber is accessible for cleaning by removting the cover 183. The pipe, 180 leads to a suitable strainer 184:, from which it is conveyed to the oil manifold 58 through a pipe 185, t v

Other .forms and modifications of the in rention may be used Without departing from ilIllS herein shown being illustrative only, and-not intended to limit this specification.
